Let the Packing Begin

 Meg started the packing process today for her trip back to IU next week.  It will be a little bit more challenging this time as she will have to pack for three months with the thought that she probably won't be back before then and also with the understanding that we may not travel to Bloomington this fall.  She also has to have a bag ready in case she has to quarantine.  She plans to feel it with sweats, shorts, t-shirts and sweatshirts along with the toiletries that she will need.  Thankfully, she will be able to stay at Brett's if that happens, so she will leave the bag there.  Then all she would need to grab if she needs to isolate would be her computer, charger and school items.  

The other changes at IU this year also revolve around the pandemic.  She had to sign a COVID agreement before she could sign up to move-in on Wednesday.  In addition she has to have a COVID test ten days before arrival which she was able to do this morning.  The results will be back before she leaves, but even if they are negative, she will have to have another one when she arrives on campus.  Mass will also look different this year as parishners have to sign up before they can attend the service as St. Paul's will be capping attendance at 50 individuals.  I know that Meg won't have a problem following the rules.  She has done an awesome job social distancing and wearing a mask this summer.  We will really miss her when she leaves, but we know that it is time for her to go.  Life in the Heinisch home will be different once she's gone, but it won't be too long before we are all back together again.
